My wife and I went to Bangkok during Christmas period, and we're fortunate to be able to stay at Ananya's place. She and her husband Nick are great hosts. The condo unit is clean, basic amenities were provided, bed was comfortable and the condo is beautiful. The host were very kind to pick us up at the MRT station, when we checked in late at 9pm
The place is roughly 1km (15mins away by foot) from nearest MRT station. We are used to walking so there were no problem. Furthermore there are things to explore along the way, so it's quite interesting to walk. However, taxis are easily available around the clock at the doorstep when we don't feel like walking.
The surrounding area is very convenient. 7-11, laundry, local food, street food, western/Italians, even massage all are well within walking distance. There are also few drinking holes nearby worth checking out.
I like this place, as it's easy to access to other more happening places, but at the same time it's well tuck away in a more private street, which I feel is less touristy. You won't go wrong with Ananya as host/friend, she speaks perfect English, and response were quick.
